Entering its twelfth year globally, and third year hosted in Scotland, the Cyber 9/12 Strategy Challenge students will work together to craft actionable policy recommendations in response to a scenario that examines cyber threats to resilience. Part interactive learning experience and part competitive scenario exercise, the competition challenges students to respond to a realistic, evolving scenario of international cyber crisis, analyse the threat it poses to national, international, and private-sector interests, and provide recommendations on the best course of action to mitigate the crisis. Good luck to all the students taking part!

A DNA-testing firm seems to have ceased trading, leaving its customers wondering what has happened to the highly sensitive data they shared with it. Users can no longer access their personalised reports online, and the company Atlas Biomed has not responded to the BBC's requests for comment.

With rising scrutiny on children’s privacy, organisations processing data in the US must adapt to evolving laws that safeguard kids online. The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is just one piece of the puzzle - new state laws are adding complexity, and the penalties for non-compliance are steep. If you collect personal data from minors in the US, this blog from Jonathan Waite is a must-read. It covers: 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 – From obtaining parental consent to implementing age-appropriate consent screens, we explain what you need to do to avoid costly fines.

These biometric tools are becoming popular for tracking attendance and managing access across sectors from construction to manufacturing, offering convenience and security. Balancing the benefits and risks can be tricky. While biometrics can reduce fraud and eliminate the need for physical access cards, they also bring significant privacy and regulatory challenges. A recent ICO ruling against Serco Leisure and Chelmer Valley High School highlights the risks of mishandling biometric data: inadequate consent, missing privacy assessments, and lack of transparency can lead to enforcement action. 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: 1️⃣ Review ICO guidance and apply “Data Protection by Design” principles. 2️⃣ Choose the correct lawful basis for data processing, like obtaining valid consent. 3️⃣ Perform a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) to understand risks. 4️⃣ Conduct rigorous due diligence on your provider to ensure data security. 5️⃣ Prioritise transparency: communicate clearly with employees about data use.

Around 40 security vulnerabilities have been disclosed in various open-source artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models, some of which could lead to remote code execution and information theft. The flaws, identified in tools like ChuanhuChatGPT, Lunary, and LocalAI, have been reported as part of Protect AI's Huntr bug bounty platform. The most severe of the flaws are two shortcomings impacting Lunary, a production toolkit for large language models (LLMs) - CVE-2024-7474 (CVSS score: 9.1) CVE-2024-7475 (CVSS score: 9.1) Also discovered in Lunary is another IDOR vulnerability (CVE-2024-7473, CVSS score: 7.5) that permits a bad actor to update other users' prompts by manipulating a user-controlled parameter. https://lnkd.in/euXPf8XD
